The title perfectly explains how this week went. It absolutely FLEW! I literally feel like I was writing home just yesterday. Now I know what return missionaries mean when they say that the mission is too short. If the rest of my mission goes this fast, I´ll be home tomorrow Mom :)
My companion was sick this week too, and that was the only downer for the week. He ate something bad when we went to Coca for a Zone Conference (2 hours from Lago), and was running back and forth from the bathroom to the bed all night. Stuff coming out of both ends. It was terrible. He did say that our bathroom is really convinent because you can sit on the toilet and vomit right into the shower which is right in front of it haha :)
This week my confidence has really increased as far as teaching goes. I have been taking more of the iniciative when we teach lessons to members and investigators. I am also making more and more small talk with every person that I come in contact with. My fears of knocking doors is almost completely gone. There is a scripture that says that if we bear our trials with patience, that God will grant us the things we want in His own time. So true, and my testimony of that is stronger than ever.
The saying that the "Lord doesnt call the qualified, He qualifies the called" is so true. I didnt feel prepared to serve at the start, but now I do. All that have ever wanted to serve a mission SHOULD. Dont worry about your weaknesses, because through our Lord, we can overcome them to bring to pass His glory on the earth.
I hope you all are having a great Christmas season! Till next week!
